Reflection

“If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?” —Rumi

Prayer

Perfect Love,

We say we desire to become our best selves, but really, sometimes, that is just lip-service. Actually changing, becoming people of character and intention, developing the gifts we have been given and learning to steward them wisely, all this takes time, attention, and a willingness to face those parts of ourselves we would rather ignore. Give us humility, so we can face the truth and embrace the work of self-transformation. Heal us of pride, so we will not be defensive but can learn every day how to “polish our mirror,” becoming the best we can be in the world that you gave us to serve. Amen.

Call to Action

Consider who I might ask for genuine insight about areas of improvement I need to work on, based on my stated goals and ambitions. Make time for at least a brief chat.
